found in paying quantities wherever drilled for,
and IL has never vet been necessary to ''shoot'
any Of the wells. Gas always flows freely when
the Trenton rock is penetrated by the drill.

A SUGGESTION.

That portion of Beretania street
lying between Punchbowl and Ala
pal streets is i'm horrible condition.
Probably the best thing that can be
done by the people who travel out
that way, is to club together and
purchase ferry boat, and reim-
burse themselves by charging q
small fee for carrying passengers
and vehicles across the river. Any
deficiency in the amount necessary
for defraying the original cost and
running expenses may be made
good by an indemnity bill at the
next meeting of the legislature. Per-
haps this suggestion may be reject
ed on the ground that the river re-
ferred to is public highway, and it
istherefore the duty of the legal GUS
todians of highways, the Govern
ment, to maintain that thorough
fare in passable condition. There
is no doubt about this conclusion
being technically and legally sound.
But we are now looking at the ques-
tion from an expediency standpoint.
If those people wait until the Gov
ernment either places a ferry boat
ON that dangerous stream of water
and mud or bridges it over, they
will probably wait until the neces-
sity, so far as they are themselves
concerned, no longer exists; for
they will scarcely need to travel
that way when they are "dead and
gone" Those people should re-
member that they live under u gov
ernment in whose estimation fal-de-
rails are of paramount Importance,
and roads of no consequence what
ever. so that by expecting any.
thing from the government, they
exhibit remarkable verdancy!
